I have had my first gen G15 for years and years. I decided that it is time for me to upgrade my keys, and that I do want to go mechanical. I have been reading up on the keyboards and have narrowed my search down to three:

I have never really used a mechanical keyboard before. I do a considerable amount of typing at simi-fast speeds. I also play a lot of FPS and more recently have delved rather deep into some starcraft.

Each keyboard has my own little pros and cons. For instance I like the PS/2 and handrest on the G7, but I really do not enjoy that the backspace key is not double wide. The DAS looks badass and I feel like never being able to look at they keyboard would increase my WPM, but I dont know how easy that transition will be (I dont know every key). And the Black Widow...I guess I'm just used to my G15 blue lights and macro keys.
